Strawbs - Witchwood
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
Am   C   Am   C   F   Am     C   Am
[Verse 1]
I dropped down in the Cwitchwood to see what I could Amfind
The trees had taken Ctime out to blow away my Ammind
FAll that I could hear there, was the Amsound of my own voice
But the music it was Cmaking was nothing of my Amchoice
[Instrumental]
Am   C   Am   C   F   Am     C   Am
[Verse 2]
The interwoven Cbranches were laden deep with Amsnow
A rainbow shone so Csoftly, to show which way to Amgo
I Fobserved its many colours till my eyes were rimmed with Amfrost
I tried hard to trace my Cfootsteps, for I feared I might get Amlost
[Instrumental]
Am   C   Am   C   F   Am     C   Am
[Verse 3]
The witchwood started Csinging with a strange unearthly Amsound
My fingers grew like Cbranches, I stood rooted to the Amground
And the Fspell is still unbroken, I am still her bidden Amslave
Till a casket from the Cwitchwood, bears my body to the Amgrave
[Outro]
Am   C   Am   C   F   Am     C   Am
